Abstract

In today's highly competitive business environments, where technological advancements lead to a shortened
product life cycle, the desire and action to continuously innovate are of critical importance across all industries.
The pathway to realizing this desire involves understanding and controlling innovation activities and determinants
better. Initiatives to measure innovation aim to assist in developing such an understanding by evaluating innovation
capability, output, and performance. It is claimed that intellectual property rights, specifically patents concerning
scientific knowledge, serve as a protective shield built upon innovative information, thus supporting sustainable
innovation by safeguarding the rights of innovators. While this claim has a valid economic standpoint, I argue that
the imposition of a coercive control mechanism on knowledge (referencing all types of knowledge without
distinguishing theoretical or technical aspects) contradicts the natural structure of information. As a result,
although it may seem to stimulate innovation in the short term, in the long run, it has the opposite effect, prioritizing
only personal interests. In doing so, I attempt to provide a fundamental perspective on the mechanisms of
knowledge and innovation, highlighting the contradictions inherent in current policies.

Fikri Mülkiyet Hakları ve Genel İnovasyon Teorisi Çelişkisi Bilginin Doğası Temelinde Bir Değerlendirme

Abstract

Teknolojik gelişmelerle ürün yaşam döngüsünün kısaldığı günümüzün son derece rekabetçi iş ortamlarında, bütün
endüstriler için süreklilik arz eden bir yenilik yapma arzusu ve eylemi kritik önem taşımaktadır. Bu arzuyu
gerçekleştirmenin yolu ise inovasyon faaliyetleri ve belirleyicilerinin daha iyi anlaşılması ve kontrol edilmesinden
geçmektedir. İnovasyon ölçüm girişimleri böyle bir anlayışın geliştirilmesine yardımcı olmak için inovasyon
yeteneğini, çıktısını ve performansını değerlendirir. Yenilik yaratan bilginin üzerine kurulan koruma kalkanı
olarak fikri mülkiyet haklarının (burada bilimsel bilgiyi ilgilendiren patent hakkı ifade edilmektedir) da inovatörün
haklarını koruduğu için sürdürülebilir bir inovasyonu desteklediği iddia edilmektedir. Bu iddia iktisadi açıdan
haklı bir çıkış noktasına sahip olmakla birlikte bilgi (teorik veya teknik olarak bilgiyi ayrıştırmadan bütün bilgi
türlerine gönderme yapılmaktadır) üzerinde kurulan dayatmacı bir kontrol mekanizmasının bilginin doğal
yapısıyla çelişki göstereceği için kısa vadede inovasyonu teşvik eder görünmekle birlikte uzun vadede tam tersi
bir etki yapmakta ve sadece kişisel çıkarları gözetmekte olduğu savunuyorum. Bunu yaparken de bilginin ve
inovasyonun işleyiş mekanizmalarına temel bir bakış açısıyla yaklaşıp günümüzde oluşturulan politikaların nasıl
bir çelişki arz ettiğini göstermeye çalışıyorum.
